Lodge Sainte Hélène Hotel with view of Camargue lake, Lodge and hotel in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, France
Lodge Sainte Hélène Hotel vue sur le lac de Camargue is a lodge and hotel in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, set on the edge of a large lake in the Camargue in southern France. The property is made up of small, separate units with white walls, red tiled roofs, and private outdoor spaces that face the water or the garden.
Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer is one of the oldest towns in the Camargue, long inhabited by fishermen and shepherds before tourism came to the area. The lodge itself is a modern construction, built to welcome visitors who come to explore the wetlands and the surrounding nature.
The Camargue is known for its horses, bulls, and birds, and staying near the lake makes it easy to notice this local way of life. Guests often watch flamingos and herons from their terrace, a sight that feels ordinary here but surprises most first-time visitors.
The lodge sits on the edge of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, within easy walking or cycling distance of the town center. Free parking is available on site, and there are charging points for electric vehicles for a small fee.
Despite having no full restaurant, the lodge serves evening tapas on guests' private terraces, with local cheeses, ham, and fresh seafood brought directly to the outdoor space. This means guests can watch the sun go down over the lake while eating, without ever leaving their own outdoor space.
